THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V. 




Slljg (flormmttott of King (Srorg? H. 

M 

This modest little publication is intended to convey to my readers 

an Illustrated Description of the Coronation of King George V. 
together with the Great Civic and Military Pageant and Festivities 
accompanying it. These descriptions are given in the form of 
letters containing accurate accounts of "Coronation Celebrations" 
in other Towns and Cities in addition to the British Capitol. 

To most Americans the brilliant and gilded Ceremonies attendant upon 
such a Function may savor of "Barbaric Splendor", but we must remember it is 
part and parcel of an Institution handed down for ages, becoming a custom as 
necessary as it is pleasing to people of the old world. Regal Ceremony reaches 
its highest pitch of Solemnity and Magnificence in the crowning of a British Sov- 
ereign. The complicated Ritual has many meanings, which we shall try to ex- 
plain — the gorgeous Vestments and Jewels made the Spectacle splendid to the 
eye, while the place of the Crowning — Westminister Abbey with its associations 
that are nothing less than the history of the Nation, adds the last touch of im- 
pressiveness to a Scene never to be forgotten. 

The events which transpired in old London on June 22, 23, were of 
the greatest importance to the civilized world for it gave England anothei oppor- 
tunity to show all Nations what a Magnificent Demonstration of Power on land 
and sea, the "Tight Little Isle'' can make when occasion requires. That in- 
spiring Pageant cost fifty millions of dollars and its successful termination proves 
the Loyalty of countless millions to the Union Jack of Old England. 

It was my privilege to present to His Majesty, a beautifully Illuminated 
Address of Congratulation from the United British Societies of Lawrence, Mass., 
which Address, by arrangement through the good offices of British Am- 
bassador Bryce, U. S. Ambassador Reid, and Lord Knolleys, I was permitted 
to present in person to His Majesty's representative — Sir. Edward Troup, at the 
Home Office in Whitehall, London. 

Therefore to His Excellency Pres. Taft, His Majesty King George V, 
the titled gentlemen named and the officers and members of the United British 
Societies of this City, this book is respectfully dedicated.

THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V. 



KING GEORGE TO THE BRITISH SOCIETIES 

(From the Lawrence Critic, May 27, 1911.) 

THE United British Societies of this city are at Washington, 
to present to King Geoge V, a magnifi- Present at the meeting were thirty-three 

cent illuminated address together with a delegates from eleven lodges and the following 

gold jeweled badge of the society to which the commitee was appointed to draw up resolutions 

new King was elected a life member at an en- which they promptly proceeded to do; John 

thusiastic meeting of the delegates held Friday Briggs, Albert Douglas, W. H. Russel, Edward 

night. Ingle and John Tait. 

British Embassy, Washimgcon, 
SIR: May 16, 1911 

I have been desired by His Majesty King George 
V, to convey to you his appreciation of the desire 
of the United British Societies of Lawrence, Mass., to 
present 'hirn a set of Congratulatory Resolutions, to- 
gether with the Gold and Jeweled Badge of the Order, 
on the occasion of his Coronation. 

It will be a source of much gratification to His 
Majesty to receive the Congratulatory Address and the 
Badge of your 0rder o — I am, You Obedient Servant, 



Joshua Jackson, Esq., Sec'ry, 
United British Societies, 
Lawrence, Mass. 

This action was taken in response to the 
Kings acceptance of the offer to present him 
with an address. Three months ago Secretary 
Jackson of the United British Societies with a 
total membership of over 7,000, wrote to King 
George's secretary and on Thursday the follow- 
ing letter was received from Ambassador Bryce 




^^ 



Brother Walter E. Rushforth, Editor of the 
Lawrence Critic who is to attend the Corona- 
tion as a representative of a syndicate of news- 
papers and to gather material for a book, was 
unanimously elected to personally present the 
resolutions and gold medal to King George. 
The resolutions read as follows. 



MAY IT PLEASE YOUR MOST GRACIOUS MAJESTY. 



c 



OMING into your Majesty's hands from a 



THOUGH living apart from your Majesty's 
empire we are yet among kinsmen who 
honor and respect Your Illustrious name, 
scarcely less than we who have been loyal sub- 
jects of Great Britain under the reigns of good 
Queen Victoria and King Edward of happy 
memory. 

WE THE DELEGATES from eleven 
affiliated British Societies of Lawrence 
Massachusetts, beg you to accept the 
assurance that no new associations can weaken 
our love for our native land. No new ties dimi- 
nish the respect and affectionate loyalty we feel 
for you, or lessen for a moment our sense of the 
high value of Your Majesty's beneficient influ- 
ence in shaping the glorios course of the noble 
empire over which in GOD'S Good Providence 
you have been called upon to rule. 

The British Societes feel highly pleased at the King's acceptance of their congratulations, for 
§o far as can be learned Lawrence is the only city in the country to be thus honored- 



seen how under Divine guidance, the Em- 
pire has grown not only m extent but in all those 
influences which conduce to Christian Civiliza- 
tion and political freedom. 

RESOLVED therefore that the United 
British Societies of Lawrence, Massachu- 
setts, view with pleasure the accession to 
the throne of King George V, and it is our 
earnest wish and prayer that you may long be 
spared to rule over an affectionate and grateful 
people. 

BE it further resolved that these resolutions 
together with the gold emblem of our 
association be presented in person to His 
Majesty King George V., by Walter E. 
Rushforth. For the United British Societies of 
Lawrence, Mass. 



THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V. 



SAILS FOR FISHGUA RD— LONDON 

Cunarder Franconia Makes Record Voyage in Sea as 
Smooth as Glass. 



Off Queenstown, June 5, 191 1 

THE S. S. Franconia is about to complete a 
record trip from Boston to Liverpool, and 
at twilight the passengers (nearly 500) 
who are to land at Queenstown are gathering 
together their effects, in preparation for disem- 
barkation to-morrow Tuesday after wh#t every- 
one aboard, sailors included concedes to be the 



I say the Franconia is about to complete a 
"record" trip across, in that we have passed 
every steamer and ship we have met since leav- 
ing Boston, sailing in the opposite direction to 
ourselves — and even one that was headed the 
same way, a square-rigged Barkertine in full 
sail, which we overhauled Sunday, just as 
Divine Service was about to close. 





Cu 

pleasantest voyage of their careers. 1 
weather could not have been made. We have 
encountered but brief spells of fog — that dreaded 
foe to all mariners, and have been blessed with an 
utter absence of the proverbial sea sickness. 
Quite a few on the second day, among the 1 700 
passengers felt and looked a little pannicky 
aroundjhe gills, but in face of the quibs of their 
friends didn't give way to mal de mer. 



THE S. S. FRANCONIA, 
Line, The "Easiest" Boat that Ever Crossed the Pond. 

ndeed better As the collection had already been taken 

it did not interfere with the receipts. To pass 
such a novelty is a rarity, according to Captain 
Smith who ought to know. 

The Franconia's biggest run was Monday, 
when 394 miles were made, without pushing 
things. Indeed it is quite apparent this ship is 
capable of much higher speed whenever the 
owners get ready. 



THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V. 



We also carried a record crowd of excur- 
sionists, among them being a large number of 
Swedes, en route to the land of the midnight 
sun, besides other nationalities, English people off 
to the coronation predominating. 

Among the steamers we met were the St. 
Louis, Campania, Carpathia and Mauretania — 
the Lusitama alone passing us. 

Some of the passengers saw whales the 
second day out — some, green monkeys, but most 
of us saw Wales, when we arrived at Fishguard 
early Wednesday, and boarded the Cunard's 
special tram for dear old Lunnon. 

A Priest and three Ministers, including a 
Professor from Knox College (Presbyterian) of 
Canada were among the second class passengers. 
In the first Saloon was Sir John Murray, and 
Col. Morgan, Editor of the Bos' on Globe. 

To be exact we carried 
1 759 passengers, 1 1 00 3rd class, 
409 second and 250 first There 
can be no doubt that running 
Atlantic Steamers is a profitable 
business, for according to my 
figures upwards of $ 1 00,000 was 
the total cost of transportation 
alone, to travelers aboard this 
modern and up-to-date steamer. 
Figure it yourself. 409 2nd class 
at an average of $52.00 each; 
250 saloon at an average of 
$1 25.00 and 3rd class at $37.50 
each. Of this vast revenue the 
millionaires in the first, contribute 
$30,000. The 2nd class, $22, 
500 and the third the most (as usual) $40,000. 

We also have a Mayor besides several 
would-be- Mayors among us. Our chairman at 
the concert Monday night was Mayor Thorp of 
Guelp in North West Canada, a city of 1 5,000 
progressive Republicans, who though small in 
numbers are up to snuff in modern progress and 
operate even their own street railway system. 

From a musical standpoint we have lacked 
for nothing. Three pianos, two phonographs 
and the ever present accordeon to say nothing of 
the German Fluta purchased at Knuepfer and 
Dimmocks, has been worked overtime with bud- 
ding Carusos and Madame Melbas thrown in, 
while from a sentimental standpoint those of a 
spiritual temperament have had a surfeit of 
hymns. Such popular ones as "Nearer My 



God to Thee," "Gather at the River" and 
"Where is my Wandering Boy" etc. have been 
sung a thousand times, backways, front ways and 
side ways. 

Aboard an ocean liner there's always 
some strong lunged adherent of Moody and San- 
key to act as leader and prevent the rest dying 
from <=unm. 

But we have had a delightful trip, and the 
best hotel in Lawrence sets no better table than 
we have faced for the past week. The Stewards 
with their army of assistants, male and female 
have left no (rope) unturned ' to administer to the 
comfort of passengers. The social side deserves 
especial mention and in eight, times across I have 
never met a finer crowd of men, women or chil- 
dren crossing the big pond on pleasure bent. 

There are several Lawrence people with us 




SCENE ON THE UPPER DECK. 

including Mr. Edward Whittaker, the Napper 
Clothing Manufacturer, and they are all well and 
enjoyed the trip immensely. 

At the big concert the magnificent resolu- 
tions to be presented to His Majesty King George 
from the United British Societies were placed on 
exhibition in the saloon, protected by a guard of 
honor, and everyone aboard from Skipper to 
Cook was inexpressively pleased at the opportu- 
nity of seeing them. 

In conclusion let me add, I am going to run 
over to "gay Paree" after a stay in London, in 
order that a comparison can be made between 
the "Red Light" district of that city and Mayor 
CahiU's baliwick to home.

HIS EXCELLENCY PRES. TAFT 

President Sends to King George "Cordial 
Felicitations in the Name of People of 
United States." 

WASHINGTON, June 22-President Taft today sent 
the following cablegram to King George : 

"On this auspicious occasion I take sincere pleasure in 
extending to your majesty cordial felicitations in the 
name of the people of the United States and in my own, 
and in expressing the cherished hope that, under your 
guiding influence, the British dominion many flourish and 
prosper, I assure your majesty of my best wishes for 
your personal welfare and that of your majesty's family 
and for the continuance of the friendly relations existing 
between Great Britain and the United States, 



THE LATE KING EDWARD VII. 
Who was Beloved by His Subjects Everywhere. 



(Pnrjut of % Irnmt Jark. 



The British Union Jack, the King's colors, combines three 
crosses— the cross of St. George, the cross of St. Andrew and the 
cross of St. Patrick — all on a blue field. The union of these three 
crosses occurred in an interesting fashion. Primarily England's 
flag displayed a red cross on a white ground. The whita flag of St. 
Andrew made its appearance side by side with that of St. George 
during the reign of James I., the Scottish King, who ascended the 
throne of England. It was not until later, however, in 1707, that 
the two crosses were combined on the one banner and the white 
emblem of St. Andrew ran from corner to corner of the blue field 
and crossed the red emblem of St,. George. 

Nearly a century later a red diagonal cross of St. Patrick's 
found a place on the same flag. It was after the Irish parliament 
was united to the British that this change took place.

HIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR FOSS. 



[Champlain & Farrar 



"Admittedly one of the ablest and most popular Chief Executives the Commonwealth of Massachusetts 
has ever known."— Lawrence Critic. 

l-JIS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR FOSS was among the first to cable the King, sending congratulations in 
behalf of the people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts to King George V., receiving a prompt and 
courteous reply of acknowledgement from Lord Knollys, private secretary to His Majesty. The British Consul, Hon. 
Frederick P. Leay, also cabled. 

In every secton of the State, British Clubs and the Sons of St. George celebrated Coronation Day, June 22nd. 
In Boston the Victorian Club held a grand Banquet at the Algonquin Club. President Graehme Haughton was 
toastmaster. About 50 members of the club were present and the only outside guest was the British Consul, 
Frederick P. Leay. The most memorable feature of the evening was the reading of a cable message from Lord 
Knollys, private secretary of the king, conveying his majesty's acknowledgements of congralulations cabled earlier 
in the day on behalf of the club.

THE GREAT HARBOR AT QUEENSTOWN 



London, June 1 5th. 

THERE'S one thing I had totally forgotten 
— namely the twilight one sees over here, 
and which is entirely absent in America, 
and we saw it to perfection in Queenstown Har- 
bor Tuesday night. It was just after seven when 
the tenders came along side to take aboard those 
passengers who were to get off for old Ireland, 




CHARLES DICKENS 

ops of London famous. This i 
. birch at No. a Little Turnstili 

but it was too rough to make a safe landing, so 
the captain elected to steam into the inner harbor 
where the Ivernia lies like a disabled sea gull in 
the water, resting on the sands while scores of 
men are working in an effort to save her. 

It was a beautiful Summer's night and the 
scenes presented 5 ] on the banks were magnifi- 
cent to say the least. Inside the breakwater 
was like a sheet of transparant ice, upon while 
thousands of sea gulls rested while the Franconia 
disembarked her passengers, completing a scene 
that Venice alone could hope to surpass. 
Steaming gently out of the harbor headed for 
Fishguard every man woman and child aboard 
heartily responded to my voiceferous proposi- 
tion, Three Cheers for Ireland! It was then 
half past nine and you could read a newspaper 
on deck. s 

We arrived at Fishguard about 5 a. m. 
Wednesday morning, and saw in reality the du- 
plicate of the moving picture film of the Maure- 
tania disembarking at this great terminus, as 
shown at the Nickel theatre Lawrence three 
weeks ago. 



From Fishguard to London is a little over 
200 miles on the Great Western Railroad, and 
the Cunard Express makes but one stop as it 
hustles at lightning speed to Paddington station, 
London. Meanwhile you are travelling through 
the most picturesque part of Great Britain. 

The cars have every convenience, with a 
corridor on the left, enabling one to walk the 
entire length of the tram to the dming saloon, etc, 
Before reaching London you pass through the 
principal cities of Wales; Llewyn, Cardiff, etc.. 
and cross the Thames river in several places, 
passing through Reading, the home of the 
famous Huntley & Palmer's biscuits, likewise 
skirting Windsor Castle (in plain view) the 
home of the late Queen Victoria. 

You have to see the country we passed 
through to realize how charming it is. Vegeta- 
tion stretching for miles, with fields of butter- 
cups and daisies, poppies and wild flowers. 
It is a veritable fairyland at this season. 

At Paddington station we were met by a 

taxi cab, so it looked just like leaving home for 

So. Lawrence in Collins' taxi, only there are 

hundreds, yes thousands of them in London, 

and over fifty of them were quickly used by 

Americans in our party. 

London is enjoying exceptionally good hot

No use in talking this place has Lawrence

New York. There are not less than five millions 

here now, with millions more to come. Sixty 

thousand soldiers are to mark the line of parade, 

but just where yours truly fits in I have not yet 

discovered. There is time enough yet however. 

I have an appointment in one hour with 

the editor of the London Daily Mail, to whom 

I am giving a story of the British Societies and 

the Resolutions. 

The stores are simply grand and the 
motor cars so profuse, it makes one dizzy 
watching them pass. 

Things in general, with perhaps jewelry 
the exception, are pretty much the same price 
as in America. It costs you about the same 
for a good feed, but there is a vast difference 
in the method of serving it. 

I have postponed my trip to Paris for a 

few days, to take in a few things that are going 

off here, and expect to meet Lord Knnollys in a 

few days to arrange for the presentation of the 

British Societies Resolutions.

THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V. 



iEtujlatuYa King attb (^unn 




HIS MAJESTY KING GEORGE V. 

King George V. can trace his lineage back 
probably as certainly as such a matter can be 
traced, to Edward I., who flourished in the 1 3 
hundreds. His immediate family line, as an 
English royal personage, begins with George I., 
but skips George IV. and William IV. as he 
inherits through the Duke of Kent, who never 
reigned. 




HER MAJESTY QUEEN MARY 

Whose lovable disposition and Queenly bearing 
is making her the idol of the British people. 




THE CORONAflON OF KING GEORGE V. 



IS 




A Gkeat j§>tataaman 



The peers of Great Britain have yielded to the 
inevitable in the House of Lords and passed the 
bill stripping them of the power of veto upon the 
House of Commons measures, not because they 
wanted to, to. but because they were resigned 
after the manner of the Dutchman's wife-they 
had lo be. The threat of the creation of hundreds 
of new peers was more than they could stand up 
against; it was too terrible a thundeibolt, and 
they avoided it.

stands forth at last a democracy in everything but 
the name and a republic in all but the toleration 
of a King. 

For the brilliant, forceful, unswerving and most 
important of all— successful fight he has wared 
in behalf of complete popular government, Pre" 
mier Asquith deserves and will receive a fame that 
will place him among the great statesmen of Eng-

in difficult circumstances and courageous above 
all. If he shall now add home rule for Ireland to 
his achievments— and there is little doubt that he 
will— his life work will have been one for any man 
to be proud of.

CORONATION EXHIBITION AT THE "WHITE CITY." 



PROBABLY before this appears in print the 
Great Coronation Parade and Pageant will 

be a thing of the past, and King George 
have been formally recognized as Ruler of Great 
Britain and Ireland, India, etc., by the great na- 
tions of the earth, after a ceremony which, far 
gorgeousness and splendor, has never been equal- 
ed let alone surpassed since the world began. 

There are several so-called Coronation ex- 
hibitions going on in this metropolis, and a brief 
description of the "White City" will prove 
interesting. 

At "Shepherd's Bush," 
reached by the underground 
"Tube" you come to a vast 
acreage of buildings built on a 
scale of magnificence that must 
be seen to be realized. What 
with the substantiality of the 
scores of towenng exhibition 
halls, gardens, courts, drives 
and walks, to say nothing of 
the charming lagoons covered 
with boats and launches, the 
"White City" leaves such 
attractions as Dreamland, 
Wonderland and Coney Island 
away in the van. 

In fact this place is big 
enough to contain the three 
named, and then leave ample 
room for half a million well 
dressed Londoners to prome- 
nade in comfort. 

It is the solid, permanent 
construction of these pleasure 
resorts that astonishes the foreigner, who is used 
to seeing such affairs flimsily put together. 

The exhibition I allude to shows the arts, 
industries and resources of the British Empire. 
Canada, New Zealand and the colonies all being 
represented by different buildings containing 
natives and priceless exhibits, the admission to 
everything being but 25 cents. 

There was a dozen or more crack Military 
Bands discoursing British and imported music, 
mostly British, however, which sounded real good 
after many years absence. 

Entering the main gates, the first object

seen by the visitor is the Hall of Splendor, which 
represents an Indian Palace, and next the oriental 
section is entered. In the first building are a 
number of Panoramas and Reproductions of 
Bombay, Elephants, Oudepore, Buddah's Temple 
Giant Bamboos, the City of Kandy, and an 
Indian Jungle. 

Turning to the left is a building devoted to 
India, and the East, which includes views of 
Jeypore, Amber, Gwalior, Amritza, Duttiah, 
Benares, Lucknow, Calcutta, 
New Guinea, Hong Kong, 
Mandalay, Borneo and Pagan. 
There are a dozen other 
"palaces" adorned with thou- 
sands of electric bulbs which 
at night presents fairyland in 
gigantic proportions. At this 
time with the illuminated falls 
and electric fountains, a half 
hour's ride round the lagoon 
in an electric launch is a treat 
never to be forgotton. 

There are Hindoo Tem- 
ples of Magic, Cingalese, 
Chinese, a Somali Village and 
Bush Rangers from Australia. 
The "side show" attrac- 
tions are many and novel. 
Among the new ones, to me 
at least, was the Cyclone, the 
only one of its description and 
size in England, is the latest 
ride introduced in London. 
The car in which the visitor 
is seated whirls and turns, 
twirls about in a most amusing, fascinating and 
delightful manner, and appeals to old and young 
alike. 

Then there's the Witching Waves. The 
visitor travels on one of the specially contnved 
cars and steers his own course across the raging 
island ocean. 

The funniest of all however is the Wiggle- 
Woggle, the last word in freak rides, enables the 
visitor to take a trip exciting and novel in a 
degree never dreamt of by ordinary mortals. The 
passengers are seated in a circular cab, and by 
means not divulged are twisted and twirled in a

LIVING IN LONDON TOWN. 



London, England, June 14, 1911 

WE have been in the world's metropolis just 
one week, and one week from this day 
the greatest event in recent British his- 
tory will have been consumated, and of this fact 
you will doubtless be fully aware. 

In this letter I am going to dwell upon 




BUCKINGHAM PALACE 

The London Residence of their Majesties King George 
and Queen Mary. 

observations made in this city of eight millions. 
Arriving here 1 was struck with the sight of my 
brother George's initials everywhe-e displayed 
in conspicuous gold letters G. R. It seemed 
as if he owned London, but I soon discDvered 
this had sole reference to the King and meant 
George Reigns. So does our George— at 3 
Dashwood Road. From the humblest to the 
wealthiest, everybody decorates, and I have 
gazed upon tons of crowns and sceptres, etc., 
with more or less gold on them. 

London appears to be the jeweler's para- 
dise. There are thousands of stores devoted 
exclusively to expensive jewelry, gold, silver- 
ware and diamonds. Diamonds especially, and 
any one store on Bond Street is displaying more 
genuine diamonds than you would find in the 
average American city. 

For weeks an army of decorators have 
worked day and night on the streets and build- 
ings of the city. In Piccadilly Circus to Tra- 
falgar Square, and reaching beyond Westminster 
thousands of flag-poles dot the sidewalks, while 
hundreds of immense Corinthian columns, paint- 
ed white and topped with heraldic statuary, 



adorn the line of march, set about twenty feet 

apart. The grandstands, of which there are 

over 1,500 — not including thousands of window 

seats and smaller stands — are erected and await 

the purchasers of seats upon them, who have 

paid anywhere from ten shillings to three 

guineas. A "Guinea" here being $5.25. The 

grandstands are each tested by a squad of big 

strapping "cops" who report any deficiency or 

tendency to collapse. 

Seating capacity in these stands has been 
provided for fully half-a-million, and it has been 
carefully estimated that this pageant or Corona- 
tion of the King will cost the British public 
fifty million dollars. 

But with all these seats confronting you 

I have not yet selected mine, and am certainly 

not going to "cough up" fifteen cold plunks to 

see the King and Queen ride by in a gilded 

coach, much as I love the old country and its 

traditions. Fortunately, and through the 

courtesy of my friend Hon. William Phillips, 

chief counsellor of the American Embassy, to 

whom I bore a letter of introduction from U. S. 

Senator Lodge, I have been presented with a 

Press Badge, which takes you through the lines 

and about everywhere except to the private

The stores here are remarkably well

the ideal pavement for the thousands of motor 
car, motor busses and taxi cabs. In wet 
weather, however, it is something dreadful, 
until men, at convenient intervals spread rough 
gravel on the streets to prevent skidding. 

Automobilists have a habit of painting the 
tires white every day, just as the housewife sees 
that the steps of her domicile are kept neatly 
scoured with white or yellow sandstone. This 
gives a continual appearance of newness to the 
machines, but better still indicates their 
approach. 

Yesterday we passed a pleasant day at the 
Zoo, and at Madame Tussaud's World-famous 
Wax-work Exhibition. The Zoo compares 
favorably with the Bronx Park Zoo in New 
York, but you pay an entrance fee of 25 cents. 
The "bull-pup" Jack Needham presented me 
with six months ago would make an admirable 
addition to the great collection of Quadrupeds 
seen there. 

Madame Tussaud's continues to attract, 



and hundreds of visiting troops from Canada, 
Australia, India and Africa were among the 
visitors. The world's celebrities are shown in 
wax. There were Ex-Presidents Garfield, 
Lincoln, McKinley and Roosevelt as well as 
President Taft looking as natural as life: Kings 
and Queens from the beginning of the English 
dynasty to the present and in many cases 
dressed in their original garments, greet the eye. 
Cnppen the murderer, and Johnny Hayes, 
winner of the Olympia marathon, also Dorando, 
etc., were seen true to life. 

I enquired from one of the attendants if 
they had a wax counterpart of "Rush" the great 
American Traveller, and he replied, "Not yet, 
but one is in preparation." 

The world's great leaders, musicians, poets 
and writers are all to be seen in a dazzling and 
countless exhibition that must be seen to be 
properly appreciated. We are enjoying excep- 
tionally fine sunshiny weather, something entirely

CROWN JEWELS IN THE TOWER 



Yet these precious things, over which so many 

WHAT associations are suggested as one reverent fingers had passed for so many years, 
looks upon the crown iewels so carefullv mav > historians tell us, have dated back to pre- 

conquest times; anyhow we read, in an old 
chronicle that they "belonged anciently to King 
Edward the Confessor," and the same chronicler 
— Anthony Wood it is — describes how, in the 
republican days, one naughty fellow dressed 
up in the time-sanctified trappings, declaring 
loudly that "there should be no further use of 
these toyes and trifles." 

Unfortunately for republican ideas of 
economy, however, royal or- 
naments were to be 'of furthur 
use,' and a few years later, 
when the restoration came, the 
crown jewels had to be remade 
at a cost of $3 1 ,978, whereas 
the old ones had been valued 
at only an odd thousand or so. 
It would have been better to 
have kept them. 

Immediately after the re- 
storation, as is well known, 
occurred Colonel Blood's ab- 
surd attempt to carry off the 
regalia from the tower. 

The story is absolutely correct. Blood 
made friends with old Talbot Edwards keeper 
of the jewels in the Tower, by pretending to be 
a parson who wanted, with his wife, to innocent- 
ly view the jewels. The acquaintance thus 
struck up was helped by the supposed parson's 
proposing a match between the daughter of the 

linger over in this fairy-tale Edwards' and a nephew of his own. The 

Unfortunately (in a sense) there are fewer nephew was to be brought at seven o'clock one 
doubts about the English regalia, since they date May morning to meet the daughter. 



London, June 20th 
HAT associations are suggested as one 
looks upon the crown jewels so carefully 
guarded by the stalwart Beef Eaters of 
Old England. A Coronation with the magnifi- 
cence of its ancient ritual revives something of the 
legends and stories connected therewith. 

What well-brought-up boy or little girl will 
recognize a king, in the true fairy-tales, unless he 
wear a crown, as in the pictures he invariably 
does? So for us, grown-up children, the crowns 
of this coronation week are the magic golden 
circles drawing all eyes to- 
wards the King and Queen, 
to whom they give power 
and added dignity and emin- 
ence. 

Crowns have always had 
a peculiar, a mystic significance 
for ordinary men. Long ago 
in early ages of dim faith, 
Kings dedicated their crowns 
to the Redeemer, as, after 
a battle, knights hung up their 
votive swords. In the great 
church of Aix-la-Chapelle, 
you may see fierce Barbarossa's crown of copper 
suspended above the tomb of Charlemagne, and, 
if you like, to pay five shillings or so you will be 
shown at Monza, near Milan, the famous Iron 
Crown of Lombardy inside which (the story goes) 
is actually a Nail from the True Cross. But there 
are disputes about this as about most other relics 
— doubt about authenticity which we will not

from a compantively modern time. The mcono- 
clastic revolution and chopping-to-pieces period 
of 1649 caused the old ornaments to be "by 
order of Parliament totally broken and defaced." 



At seven o'clock, indeed, appeared Blood, 
but with him were three ruffians who came to 
the Jewel house all armed with rapier blades 
concealed in their canes. Edwards was bound

PRESENTS RESOLUTIONS TO SIR EDWARD TROUP. 



London, June 21, 191 1. 

HAVING an audience with King George 
V., or his most direct representative at the 
Home Office, who is Sir Edward Troup 
C. B., the REAL Home Secretary being 
Winston Churchill, is more difficult by reason of 
the old country red tape and prejudice, than it 
was to "dine" with the late lamented Queen 
Victoria. 




THE HOME OFFICE 

At Whitehall, where the Resolutions from the British Societies 

were presented in person by Mr. Rushforth to Sir Edward 

Troup, representing the King. 

London is practically an Empire; with 
magnificent and massive buildings that have made 
history in many centuries, its cathedrals and 
palaces, its royalty and soldiers galore. A pano- 
rama is presented of kaleidoscopic beauty which 
engages and yet perplexes the visitor from the 
new world. 

If there's any more "red tape" in Russia, 
China, or Japan than permeates the Royal 
environs of Buckingham Palace or Windsor 
Castle, then you'll have to show me. This is 
absolutely necessary, however, for the integrity 
of the Empire, no less than for the dignity of 
the Crown which may not be exploited by 
tradesmen or ambitious politicians. 

The King's household pay for what they 
get like other mortals, and to receive gifts or 
delegations of irresponsible persons bearing gifts 
of gold, frankinsense and myrrh is neither con- 
sidered dignified or proper. Therefore to be 
received by the active Home Secretary, Sir 
Edward Troup, personally designated by His 
Majesty is a distinguished honor few visitors 
are accorded. 

The reception and presentation of the reso- 
lutions took place last Friday afternoon at four 
o'clock in the Home Office, Whitehall, and was 
by previous appointment. 



Fortified with introductory letters from 
Lord Knollys, His Majesty's private secretary, 
and Hon. William Phillips, First Counsellor at 
the American Embassy. I was then ushered 
into the presence of probably the most demo- 
cratic Knight of the many who boast the title of 
SIR to their front names. 

Sir Edward was delighted to receive, what 
he termed, "The handsomely engraved Resolu- 
tions from former British residents now settled in 
the States, as it indicated a feeling of love for 
their home country, which he felt sure their 
Majesties the King and Queen would gratefully 
appreciate. 

Sir Edward asked about Lawrence, and 
profusely thanked me for a copy of "Rush's" 
Trolley Guide and post cards ofthe Wood, Arling- 
ton and Uswoco Mills from Lawrence, the 
"Industrial Centre" of the United States. 

Hon. William Phillips, first secretary of the 
Embassy, hails from Wenham Lake, near 
Beverly, and has been located in London the 
past two years. 

After the pre- 
sentation of 
the resolutions 
Sir Edward 
conducted 
myself and 
Brother Geo., 
who accom- 
p a n l e d me, 
through the 
Home Office, 
which is per- 
haps the most 
important of 
the many ex- 
ecutive man- 
sions with 
which this city 
is percolated.

places dear to Yorkshire people everywhere.

THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V. 



GREENWICH ARSENAL-WHERE 
"TIME" IS MADE. 



London, June 22, 1911. 

THE visitor to London fails in his mission 
unless he makes a trip to Greenwich — 

where "time is made" via one of the 
many fast turbine steamers running from the 
Thames Embankment, directly under the shadow 
of "Big Ben" — the noted clock that chimes the 
hours and quarters from the Tower of West- 
minster. 

Greenwich Arsenal was the making of 
England's greatest admiral, Lord Nelson and 
Duke of Bronte. Here, in the Art Gallery 



value the visitor sees for himself the links in the 
great chain which made England supreme on 
land, and mistress of the seas. 

Seated on the esplanade at Greenwich 
overlooking the busy Thames, one can imagine 
how Lord Nelson left the Court of St. James on 
the mission of his life — for his greatest test and 
he proved, as the world knows, equal to the task 
and made for himself a name that will endure 
for ever. 

Here too, is the line of Meridian — the 
sycological centre of the earth, and at noon each

dedicated to his memory, we gazed upon the 
relics of this great sailor. We saw the very 
clothes, admiral's uniform and sword he wore at 
the great battle of Trafalgar Bay, when, after 
acheiving the greatest naval victory in the 
world's history against the combined navies of 
France and Spain, he received his death wound, 
expiring aboard the "VICTORY" he loved so 
well, surrounded by his faithful but heart broken 
comrades. 

Here in the sacred building, the walls of 
which are covered with paintings of priceless 



day the ball seen at the left of the cut regulates 
the time of the world. 

Sea faring men from every corner of the 
Globe make it a point of honor, not only to doff 
their hats at the foot of that great obelisk dedi- 
cated to his memory in Trafalgar Square, in the 
very heart of London, but also to visit Green- 
wich the "Annapolis" of London, where the 
early life of Nelson was passed, and from which 
port he sailed on the greatest achievements in his 
illustrious career.

June 22nd, 5 P. M 

IT'S all over now but the shouting — and that 
will continue for weeks to come — the great- 
est, most impressive and elaborate crowning of 
a King and Queen in the history of great Britain. 
London has had some wonderful pageants, but

by common consent the one just over by reason 
of the admirable police preparations and precau- 
tions could not have been improved upon. Not 
an accident occurred to mar the occasion beyond 
a few fainting Ladies who were speedily attend- 
ed to by hundreds of Red Cross men and women, 
boy Scouts, the Army Ambulance Corps and 
the 1 2,000 police who practically encompassed 
the vast army of sightseers, 

It is estimated that over a million strangers 
stopped last night in London, while thousands 
more slept all night in the open parks to secure 
a favorable vantage point for this morning. 

Think of it, the route of parade miles in 
extent with a military force estimated at 60,000 
and on hundreds of by-streets, special gates had 
been erected to be closed the moment the crowds 
within the enclosure threatened to become un* 



managable. London was taught a lesson at 
King Edwards funeral when no less than 6,000 
including soldiers were attended to by the Am- 
bulance Corps. Everything was changed today. 
The Boy Scouts rendered great service, going 
among the congested crowds in the parks, streets, 
and avenues distributing water to those who had 
stood for hours waiting to see their King and 
Queen. 

It was my pleasure to receive a card from

THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE V. 



THE CORONATION OF KING GEORGE.-Continued 



From 8 a. m. to 1 2m, we held our position 
and needless to add we saw all that was to be 
seen at the closest range possible and were fur- 
thermore protected from the intermittent showers 
of the morning which fortunately were of brief 
duration. 

THE SOLEMN SERVICES. 

God save the King, 
Long live the King, 
May the King live for ever. 

With the grand paean with which the Jews 
of old greeted their Sovereign ringing in his ears, 
George the Fifth, by the Grace of God, King, 



Without, with tense breath and hushed 
voices, his subjects waited, after their King had 
passed amid their plaudits to his crowning, until 
the thunder of guns, the joyous clamour of bells, 
and the trumpets' blare proclaimed him crown- 
ed. Then as with one soul they raised their cry: 
GOD SAVE THE KING. 

And every unit of that million-throated 
multitude felt something of a thrill as he realized 
that the well-known words seem suddenly to 
have acquired a new intensity and a new reality 
of meaning. 

For at that moment the Sailor Prince, the 
man-of-war's man, of but yesterday, was seated 
before the altar of God, on the chair of St. Ed- 




Defender of the Faith, was at noon today, con- 
secrated and crowned. 

Thousands upon thousands of his people, 
saw him pass to the Abbey, that is the home of 
the nation's heroes; millions more throughout his 
far-flung Empire had minds and hearts intent on 
the Coronation church of kings and its great 
ceremony. 

Within the time-worn walls, with the most 
splendid ritual of religion, the most gorgeous 
panoply of chivalry, the King devoted himself 
and was consecrated to the service of God and 
his people,

I will not paticularize on the two royal 
parades which preceeded the entrance of the 
King himself. These included Princes, Dukes, 
Earls, Lords and Duchesses, going to Westmin- 
ster with all the pomp and ceremony possible, 
but it was the Heralds announcing the coming of 
King George himself which brought millions to 
their feet,

The solemn ceremony of the anointing, the

Coronation Parade as it left Westminster Abbey 
after the Crowning. 

Seated on the famous "Coronation chair of 
Edward I., the King hidden from the sight of 
the people by a canopy was annointed on the 



head, breast and palms. 

Then he was invested with the garments 
of his priestly office and presented with the spurs 
and sword, the armilla and the royal robe, the 
ring, and the sceptre with the Cross and the 
sceptre with the dove. 

Still seated in King Edward's chair, his 
Majesty was then to be crowned by the Arch- 
bishop, and as the crown of St. Edward was 
placed on his head all the peers assumed their 
coronets, which they had previously taken off. 

"God Save the King." The guns of the 
Tower boom, the bells ring, and the church is 
brilliantly illuminated with electric lights. "Be 
strong and play the man" — the Confortare — was 
then sung by the choir. 

The presentation of the Holy Bible and the 
Benediction closed the ceremony of the King's 
Coronation. 

Returning to the theatre, the King seated 
on his throne, then received the homage of his 
subjects, first of the Archbishops and Bishops, 
next of the Princes of the Blood Royal, and 
then of the dukes, marquesses, earls, viscounts 
and barons, according to their orders. 

The briefer ceremony of the Queens Coro- 
nation was then performed by the Primate. 

After a brief rest in the Chapel Royal their 
Majesties began their triumphant return to Buck- 
ingham palace when the tumultous reception of 
the early morn was renewed by the millions of 
people who had patiently awaited their coming.

ENGLAND'S RULER AS A CHILD. 



London, Eng., June 24, 1911. 

The Coronation is but two days past, and 
people everywhere are praying for more 

"King's weather "--so say we all. It was my 
pleasure to be introduced the other night, at the 
Authors' Club Banquet, to an elderly gentleman, 
now connected with a leading London Daily, who 
was for many years private tutor to King George 
when a youth. He described to me in detail his 
observations. Among other things he said; — 

"The King as a child was a fine type of 
British youngster, full of go, with a spice of mis- 



simply bade him wait until he was. 

I'm good now,' at length came a meekly 
penitent voice from under the table. 'Then you 
may come out,' answered the most regal of 
modern Queens. And forth from under the table 
darted a small boy, as naked as the day he was 
born, and danced exultantly around the room. 

On another occasion he and his brother, 
Prince Eddy, were in the maze at Hampton 
Court. The wasting of a summer's afternoon 
over the drab monotony of endless blind alleys was 
not at all to the liking of a boy of Prince George's

chief, a keen love of adventure, and a very strong 
will of his own, and, truth to tell, he was at 
times something of a pickle. Nothing could give 
a better idea of what the present sovereign was 
like in nursery day than the well-known story of 
his grandmother, to punish him for some childish 
escapade, told him to go under the table at which 
she was writing and stay there until he was good. 
After a long pause she asked him if he was good 
yet. 'Not yet, grannie,' she was answered 
promptly. As the reply was quite characteristic 
of the wilful and always bluntly truthful child, 
the Queen was not particularly surprised, and 



irresistible activity. Waiting a favorable oppor- 
tunity, he burst his way through the hedges and 
gained his release, only to run full into the arms 
of an ancient marshalman. This dignitary was 
appalled at such desecration of Hampton Court's 
most vaunted treasure, and made to seize the 
miscreant, who, however, managed to wriggle 
free. The Prince took to his heels, the guardian 
of the palatial order laboring rheumatically after 
him. The little maze-breaker easily out-distanc- 
ed his pursuer, but no power on earth would 
make him venture into "The Wilderness" again 
to rejoin his family.

Despite the acknowledged world-wide 
popularity of the late King Edward, his successor 
to the throne appears to be following in his foot- 
steps in his desire to please all his subjects. Mon- 
day night next he tenders a dinner to 1 00,000 
poor children of the East End at which each 
child will be given a box of chocolates and a 
coronation mug. Their majesties the King and 
Queen are also to grace the occasion with their 
august presence. 

The new Prince of Wales, George, eldest 
son of the King was on Wednesday invested 
with the Order of the Garter at Windsor Castle.

THE KIN G IN LONDON- 

His Majesty Visits Aldershot and Speaks to Veterans. 



The King left the royal pavilion at Aider- 
shot at ten o'clock yesterday morning and motor- 
ed to town reaching Buckingham Palace in time 
for lunch. His Majesty looked all the better 
for his brief stay in the pine-woods country. 

Such time as the King has been able to 
spend in the saddle with the troops in training 
has visibly brought him true delight, while in the 
pure, invigorating upland air the day's work has 
been less fatiguing than in London. 

His Majesty's departure from Aldershot 
was marked by an entire absence of ceremonial. 
He has not permitted his presence in camp to 
vary the regular course of the summer training, 
neither did his departure interfere with it. The 
troops of the Aldershot Command were all put 
on their alloted areas of mancevring ground yes- 
terday morning. Not even a guard of honour 
was detached from the training when the King 
left the bungalow. The Duke of Connaught, 
the royal suite, and General Sir Horace Smith- 



Dorrien, with the Aldershot headquarters staff, 
accompanied the King. On the way to London 
the King had arranged to see something of the 
work of still another branch of the military force. 
Each arm of the Regular Army, Cavalry, Artil- 
lery, and Infantry, he had seen at its training, as 
well as men of the Territorial Force of London 
and its other suburbs. Now, on the way to town 
his Majesty found time to seize an opportunity 
that offered of visiting a training camp of the 
newly formed Special Reserve, which is really 
under another name what reorganization has left 
of the old Militia. 

The most picturesque incident of the day 
came just before the King re-entered his motor- 
car at 1 1 .45. An aged but very upright Cri- 
mean and Indian Mutiny veteran, clad in a thread- 
bare frockcoat and a soft felt hat of antique 
pattern, was introduced to the King by Major 
Wigram, and the King conversed with the old 
man and shook hands very cordially.

PARADE OF ROYAL PROGRESS 



London, June 24, 1911 

LONDON'S record parade — the procession 
of Progress given Friday, the day following 

the Coronation parade was a brilliant 
pageant of Militarism at the head of which rode 
the newly crowned King. Visiting Royalties 
and the Ambassadors from every nation were 
afforded a concrete example of the power of 
Great Britain on land and sea. 

The City griffin preened its brazen feathers 
and pranced in glee on its pillar'd perch at 
Temple Bar. 



that the eye beholding it became a human kalei- 
doscope. The one hue of the rainbow that 
seemed to be missing was green, the restful hue 
that Nature lavishes for tired eyes. There was 
a glint of it, of course, in the waving plumes of 
the Irish Lancers. But the Royal Progress 
mainly wrapped in red the long processional way. 
Red in all its subtle shadings was conspicuous 
everywhere — from the vivid scarlet of the robes 
of City Aldermen and the uniforms of Field- 
Marshals and Staff officers to the plum-colour 
tunics of Austrian Hussars. 




Queen Victoria Memorial — Unveiled by His Majesty King George, V., May 16, 1911 



It's eagle eye was turned expectantly to the 
west. For George the Fifth, the new-crowned 
King, was coming to make his State entry into 
his "most loyal City of London." 

The Royal Progress yesterday through 
seven miles of streets was chiefly a display of 
martial pomp, in which every arm of the service 
was represented. It was so long that it took an 
hour to pass through the Strand where I had 
taken a position surrounded by half a dozen 
London '"Cops" who pointed out the different 
features of the parade. It was so full of varied 
colour in the passage of a multitude of uniforms 



When the British Army turns out in full 
dress to make a show it does the thing thorough- 
ly. When it has the help of the "handy men" 
— who, although plain-dressing men themselves 
in serviceable sailor garb, can boast of officers in 
all the glory of gold lace and weighty epaulettes 
and of civic dignitaries in all the panoply of civic 
state, with gilded maces, cocked hats, and colour- 
ed gowns, Londoners may be sure of a display 
worth waiting to see. 

In State Landaus came officers and ladies 
of the Royal Household, with the Lord Cham- 
berlain, the Lord Steward, and the Mistress of

the Robes, and then with Lord Kitchener at 
their side on horseback, the King and Queen 
in a high State carnage drawn by the famous 
team of eight cream horses. The King was 
wearing a Field-Marshal's uniform and Queen 
Mary looked radiant in a delicate shade of blue. 

AT TEMPLE BAR 
Five halts were made on the long journey 
addresses being first presented at Waterloo- 
place by the Westminster City Council, at 
Trafalgar-square by the London County Council, 
and at Aldwych by the Northern Boroughs. 
That at Temple Bar was an immemorial cere- 
mony in which the Lord Mayor, waiting afoot, 
played a principal part. 



At the approach of their Majesties the 
Lord Mayor advanced with mace reversed, and 
taking the Pearl Sword from the civic sword- 
bearer, lowered the point in suggestion of sub- 
mission to the King's Majesty. He offered the 
Coronation congratulations of the citizens and 
presented the Sword to the King. 

The King lightly touched the emblem of 
power, and returned it graciously to the Lord 
Mayor, who thus admitted King George and 
Queen Mary to the City of London. The little 
episode lasted only a few minutes, but it kept 
alive many ancient privileges which Londoners 
stoutly cheiish.

The Sea is Receding, but its Popularity as a Resort Increases 



FOR years the sea at Southport has consis-

is almost two miles from the Boulevard or 
Promenade. The long headed Southporters 
however quick to remedy things had two artifi- 
cial Lakes made, so with sea water pumped daily

where the children may sail, fish or bathe in per- 
fect safety. What the actual sea left vacant is 
covered by a "Midway" which suggests Coney 
Isle and other American resorts. 

Southport is to Lancashire what Morcambe 
Bay is to Yorkshire, hence it is the popular va- 
cation spot for Lancashire lads and lassies — and 
there is not a more jovial class of people in the 
world. They not only enjoy themselves but 
afford the same privilege to all other visitors. 

The pier at this place is about a mile long 
and is traversed by open Tramways and upon 
which there is erected a museum and theatre 
with numerous side shows and other attractions. 

Upon the sands stretching a good two 
miles are herds of donkeys as may be seen by 
the accompanying picture, which are the delight 
of the younger set and a pleasant memory to 
older ones.

DEAR OLD MORECAMBE BAY 



Morecambe Bay, June 29, 1911. 

Here we are, at old Morecambe 
Bay, the sea side resort of Yorkshire 
and Lancashire people, and the old 
man's paradise. It is an acknowledged 
fact that at this charming" summer re- 
sort there are more old men and women 




THE PROMENADE 

to the square inch than any other part 
of the United Kingdom. This is ascribed 
to two reasons; first the bracing sea air 
and second the health-giving properties 
of the pure water supply. 

Morecambe has a normal population 
of less than 15,000, which is doubled, of 
course, in the vacation season, although 
it lays claim to being a sea side resort open 
the year round. English people need 
not be told of its numerous attractions, 
which I may add are double what they 
were twenty or thirty years back. No 
longer do you hear the old bell man cry 
out the sailing of the "Yorkshire Lass" 
or "Morecambe Queen" — those were of 
the days beyond recall. Today their 
places are taken by scores of fishing 
yachts and hundreds of dories to be 
used for pleasure sailing or fishing ex- 



peditions. Fishing for fish is not, how- 
ever, a prolific pastime these clays at 
Morecambe Bay, because fish is more 
plentiful at the numerous markets than 
in the greyish waters of the Bay — and 
to be obtained at much less expense. 
Hence it is a common practice to catch 
your fish with "silver" bait or, in other 
words, call at the market and get a 
string of flukes or flounders all hitched 
to a string to be. taken home to deceive 
the folks, who are as gullible here as 
elsewhere. 

A visit to England without a side 
trip to Morecambe Bay would be like 
the play of Hamlet with Hamlet left 
out, and our three days' stop with the 
old folks has been and will be of the 
most pleasant memories. 




WINTER GARDENS AND HEYSHAM CHURCH 

Morecambe Bay celebrated the 
coronation in its own quiet way and 
wound up with a tea to the old people, 
of whom over 300 sat down to do it 
justice, few of whom were "younger" 
than 75. 

But although Morecambe has

BRADFORD'S BIG CELEBRATION 



Bradford, July 4th, 191 1. 

Well! we passed the glorious 
"Fourth" in dear old Bradford, the town 
o' soot and smoke, fried fish and chip 
potato shops. The American Consul 
had the good old stars and stripes flying 
near the old George Hotel on Market 
Street which, to a large extent, removed 
the "cuss" from an otherwise monoton- 
ous day. 

Bradford is proud of its part in the 
coronation, and if the truth must be 
told, no other city outside London did 



designs, produces an effect both daz- 
zling and unique. Bradford did itself 
proud at the coronation with nightly 
band concerts "forinst" the Town Hall, 
and at Foster Square near the post 
office, where the Electric Fountain 
proved a tremendous attraction. 

To give Bradford its due we must say 
that in observing the King's Coronation 
it let itself loose and was not surpassed 
in this respect by any other city in the 
country, not even excepting the clean 
little City of Huddersfield which spent 
thousands on decorations to prove that 




so well by the King and the big show. 
Bradford is a loyal burgh, and for two 
weeks after the actual coronation exer- 
cises the old Town Hall was illuminated 
each night as you see it in the cut. 

Darley Street was a bower of 
beauty with improvised archways, 
beautiful bunting and streamers. Dec- 
orations here tend to gas and electricity 
rather than to flags and bunting, al- 
though they go short on neither. For 
variegated colors in electric globes, they 
appear to be way ahead of us, while gas 
employed for illuminating countless 



it too was loyal to the core. 

Bradford is enjoying fairly good 
prosperity despite the woolsorters' strike 
which appears to have no leg to stand 
on and must soon end. It is the same 
old Bradford, however, the same church 
bells with the same dear old SACRED 
Sundays. 

While in this corner of England it 
was my pleasure to call on Editor New- 
bold of the Bradford Observer who, un- 
der the non-de-plume of "Cogitator," 
writes such interesting stuff for the col- 
umns of that well known paper.

BRADFORD'S BIG CELEBRATION— Continued 



He knew "Rush" was in the vicin- 
ity, for two days before his visit he 
printed this : — 

From a copy of "The Lawrence 
Critic" which he has been good 
enough to send us, we learn that 
Walter E. Rushforth's forthcoming 
visit to his native Bradford is only 
part of a more important mission. 
He is to present King George, on 
behalf of the "United British Socie- 
ties, of Lawrence, Mass.,"' a mag- 
nificent illuminated address to- . 
gether with a gold jeweled badge of 
the society to which the new King 
was elected a life member at an en- 
thusiastic meeting of the delegates 
held Friday night. His Majesty 
has been graciously pleased to ex- 
press, through Mr. Bryce, his will- 
ingness to accept this tribute of 
respect. There is further an ac- 
count of the Friday night meeting, 



from which it appears that the 
eleven United Societies were repre- 
sented by thirty-three delegates, 
who unanimously elected, to make 
the presentation, "Bro. Walter E. 
Rushford, Editor of the Lawrence 
Critic who is to attend the Corona- 
tion as the representative of a 
syndicate of newspapers and to 
gather the material for a book." To 
the publication of that book, of 
which we confidently hope Mr. 
Rushforth will send us a copy, we 
are looking forward with eager 
anticipation. 

Bradford is slow but sure. Its in- 
dustries are on full time and its help 
fairly well paid. The people appear to 
be happy and contented with their lot, 
so what more can one wish. We left 
Bradford with more or less regret.

for there are not less than 250 rose 
bushes in full bloom in the front and 
back gardens of this well appointed and 



commodious residence. As I sit here 
enjoying the fragrance of the beautiful 
Yorkshire roses, and penning my last 
lines before sailing for home, the post- 
man drops in with a large oblong letter 
addressed to myself and marked "On 
His Majesty's Service." 
It reads as follows : — 

Foreign Office, July 6th, 191 1. 
Sir:— 

His Majesty's Secretary of State 
for the Home Department has forward- 
ed to Secretary Sir Edward Grey the

THE KINGS REPLY— Continued 



address to His Majesty the King from 
the British Societies in Lawrence, 
Massachusetts, which was left by yoil 
personally at the Home Office with Sir 
Edward Troup. 

I am directed by Sir Edward to 
express the King's regret that his nu- 
merous engagements preclude His Maj- 
esty receiving you personally in audi- 



which His Majesty has pleasure in 
accepting. 

I am sir, 
Your most obedient humble servant, 
F. A. CAMPBELL. 

Thus ends the final chapter in the 
presentation and formal acceptance of 
that address, and King George is there- 
fore a life member of the United British 
Societies of Lawrence, Massachusetts. 




ence for the purpose of its presentation, 
but I am to state that the address has 
been laid before the King who has com- 
manded that his sincere thanks for, and 
high appreciation of, the address may 
be expressed to the signatories as well 
as of the gold badge of life membership, 



It is a great honor for all concerned. 
Take it from me that His Majesty the 
King is not to be exploited by any ordin- 
ary society or organization, hence the 
"Crown" is very careful in this respect 
and watches carefully that the Royal 
prerogatives are jealously guarded and 
its patronage held sacred. 

"Rush."

LEEDS AND HUDDERSFIELD 



Leeds, July ioth, 1911. 

Leeds is beyond question the bus- 
iest city in Yorkshire, and the centre 
of numerous attractions. It is to its 
neighbors what Boston is to its sub- 
urbs — the "Hub" of the Midlands. It 
boasts some magnificent buildings and 
rare public parks and playgrounds. 




GREENHEAD PARK, HUDDERSFIELD 

Many people of experience and 
artistic taste claim that the Leeds Town 
Hall is the finest, although by no 
means the largest, municipal structure 
in the provinces. The building dates 
from September 7th, 1858, when it was 
opened by Queen Victoria. It occupies 
a site of 6,257 square yards, and was 
designed by an eccentric local genius, 
the famous Cuthbert Brodrick. Classi- 
cal in style, it is 250 feet long, 200 feet 
wide and 67 feet high. The majestic 
tower — 225 feet high — contains a clock, 
the striking bell of which, weighs 4 tons 
1 cwt. Statues of Queen Victoria and 
the Prince Consort, and of King Ed- 
ward and Queen Alexandra, adorn the 
lofty vestibule which leads to Victoria 



Hall, that provides seats for 2,436 peo- 
ple. The total capital expenditure on 
the Town Llall up to recently was 
£136,871, including £7,234 for the 
organ. The maintenance expenses are 
just over £3,000 a year. Added to this 
is between £300 and £400 for interest, 
and redemption fund charges. On the 
other hand, between £600 and £700 a 
year is realized in rents for bazaars, 
meetings, exhibitions, and other similar 
purposes. In a word, the Leeds Town 
Hall now costs the citizens very little 
more than y 2 d. in the £ on the rates. 
Truly a prize for the money. 

Roundhay Park is 3% miles distant 
from Briggate, and covers an area of 
about 774 acres, of which 372 acres are 
appropriated for recreative purposes; 
about 40 acres are water; 61 acres have 




THE LAKE AT ROUNDHAY PARK, LEEDS 

been sold for villa sites : 300 acres are let 
off to neighboring farmers for grazing 
purposes, and 40 acres to the War De- 
partment as a drill and polo ground. 
The Leeds Golf Club Limited also 
make use of the park by arrangement 
with the Corporation, and have a fine 
pavilion.

THE KING IN IRELAND 



O 



ULD Ireland proved its loyalty to King 
George and Queen Mary on Saturday 
July 8th, in unmistakable terms upon the 
Royal visit to Ireland. 

Amid scenes of enthusiasm and loyalty the 




COLLEGE GREEN 



King and Queen made their entry into Dublin. 
The royal party, consisting, besides their 



Majesties, of the Prince of Wales, Princess 
Mary and the Duke of Connaught, spent the 
night on board the Victoria and Albert in Kings- 
town Harbor, and landed at twenty minutes 
past ten. 

When the royal barge left the side of the 
royal yacht and made for the wharf there burst 
forth a rolling volume of cheering, plainly distin- 
guishable above the roar of the Home Fleet's 
saluting guns. 

Their Majesties were received by the Lord 
Lieutenant and the Countess of Aberdeen and 
other members of a distinguished party who had 
travelled down from Dublin by special train. 

Following the viceregal welcome came the 
presentation of an address by the Kingstown 
Urban District Council, to which the King made 
the following reply: — 

"I value greatly the hearty and loyal wel- 
come which, on behalf of the inhabitants of 
Kingstown, you have given to the Queen and 
myself."

THE KING'S "CHAMPION 



ft 



Story of the Crowning of George IV., with Its Ancient 

Glitter and Glory. 



MOST sensible people are agreed that the 
barbaric splendor— the exhibition of Glitter 
and Glory (?) that attends a Coronation 
even in these conservative times is a needless 
waste of money and a show of paganism which 
could well be dispersed with. 

The Coronation of King George V. has 
doubtless cost millions and time only can tell 
whether the game was worth the candle. It 
had it's effects, to be sure. It's objects and pur- 
poses were plainly apparent and as an object les- 
son to the world, civilized, semi-civilized or bar- 
baric, that magnificent Military and Naval 
pageant proved a display of unification and 
power calculated to impress and inspire. 

The "Gaudiest" Coronation however was 
that of the fourth George. It was the last of 
Royal Coronation at which the old custom of 
the King's champion throwing down the gaunt- 
let to the World, was observed. 

The Coronation of George IV. has a place 
by itself in the record of British Coronations on 
account of more than one peculiar circumstance. 
To begin with, the Queen was refused admission 
to the solemnity on the most prosaic and quite 
British ground that she had no ticket. The 
Committee of the Privy Council had already 
decided that "the Queens Consort of this realm 
are not entitled of right to be crowned at any 
time"; but when Her Majesty presented herself 
at the Abbey as an intending spectator it was 
because she was unable to produce a ticket that 
the cautious doorkeeper refused her entrance. 

Again it was the most gorgeous and the 
most costly ceremony of its kind the country had 
ever known. The bill paid by the State amount- 
ed to £238,000. An official record of George 
IV's coronation, projected by the King himself, 
was never completed because the available money 
was unequal to the scheme of the work. We 
are told that the portion of this book which was 
executed contains 73 colored drawings "finished 
like enamels on velvet and white satin." The 
portraits, each of which cost 50 guineas, are said 
to be "very accurate, and many of the coronets 
have rubies, pearls and brilliants set in gold." 



The King himself exhibited a lively interest 
in the preparations for his coronation, and he is 
said to have dressed one of his servants in the 
Royal robes in order to see how he should 
appear in the eyes of his subjects. There was 
a good deal of advertising through the news- 
papers, as befitted the design of a spectacle 
which was intended above all to be popular. 
For a couple of months before the great day, 
every new developement in the Royal scheme 
as it unfolded was reported and commented upon. 
Nor was the King's Champion wholly idle. 
The King had sent him a helmet with a plume 
of twenty-one luxuriant ostrich feathers of red, 
white and blue; and all the world of fashion 
assembled at Astley's Amphitheatre every morn- 
ing to see the Champion take riding lessons. 
His armonr weighed over 70 lbs, and yet he 
mounted his charger with very little assistance. 
He was a "fine young man," reports a lady of 
the period, "about 5 feet 1 inches in height." 

The Champion sat his horse with ease and 
the appearance of great firmness, "which was, 
no doubt, in part, attributable to his enormous 
weight, under which the noble animal that bore 
him seemed to bend." Whilst the Champion 
nervously handled a gauntlet which he brought 
with him, a herald made the following proclama- 
tion: — 

If any person of what degree soever, high or low 
shall deny or gainsay our sovereign lord King 
George the Fourth, of the United Kingdom of Great 
Britain and Ireland, Defender of the Faith, son and 
next heir of our sovereign lord King George III., 
the last King deceased, to be right heir of the Im- 
perial Crown of the United Kingdom or that he 
ought not to enjoy the same, here is his Champion 
who saith that he lieth and is a false traitor, being 
ready in person to combat with him, and in this 
quarrel will adventure his life against him on what 
day soever shall be appointed. 

The Champion thereupon threw down his 
guantet, and, none of the guests accepting the 
challenge, had that restored to him, when he cast 
it down again and yet again. Nothing happened 
and the King completed the vain ceremony by 
drinking to the Champion from a golden cup.

HOME SWEET HOME. 



'" Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, 
Be it ever so humble— there's no place like home." 



Aboard the S. S. Franconia, 

Homeward Bound. 
Those who have crossed the Atlan- 
tic need not be told of the difference in 
appearance and purpose of a ship load 
of passengers leaving" Boston and one 
returning" to Boston. In the first in- 
stance your fellow passengers are on a 
voyage perhaps on business or pleasure 
bent, or both, are brim full of enthus- 
iasm and joyful anticipation, with 
pocketbooks that, if not overcrowded, 
are at least ample. On the return, and 




The Last We Saw of London — Leaving King's Cross 
Station. 

especially true is this of a "coronation" 
trip, your fellow passengers are made 
up largely of new coiners, and trippers 
returning broke — and if not broke, like 
the writer, badly bent. Any sailor or 
traveler will bear testimony to this as- 
sertion. 

Therefore, coming home things 
look different, whether you take one 
drink or twenty. After weeks of pleas- 
ure and sight-seeing, about the third 
day from Liverpool you realize that 
work lies before you. 

Lawrence may be a Cosmopolitan 
City with twenty-two nationalities 



among its 86,000 inhabitants, but not 
more so than is the good ship Fran- 
conia. To walk the deck and observe 
the complexion of its passengers not 
only affords amusement, but arouses 
serious thought. It must be a great and 
vast country that can shelter and as- 
similate the thousands of pilgrims who 
make it their Utopia. The resources of 
such a country must be immense to en- 
able it to offer an asylum to the entire 
world, the only requisites being honesty, 
and the ability and willingness to work. 

In one corner of the deck you come 
across a group of young men and wo- 
men from Lancashire. In another you 
bear the unmistakable accent of the 
Yorkshire dialect, and maybe the father 
and mother have had to scrimp and save 
to pay the cost of this, the greatest and 
most momentous epoch of their careers. 
Individually and collectively they are 
wondering what the future has in store 
for them. 

Time alone can answer, but, need- 
less to add, we wish them all good 
health, long life and abundant pros- 
perity. 

Yes. indeed ! there is a totally differ- 
ent atmosphere returning from than in 
going to the tight little isle, but it is 
mighty interesting. The little tots 
trotting" by their mother's side or scam- 
pering" hither and thither on the deck 
may wonder, but they do not yet know 
what it all means, and it's well they 
don't for it would have interfered with 
their enjoyment. 

The Franconia, which left Liver- 
pool Tuesday, July nth, has thus far 
encountered fair winds and fine weather. 

Capt. Smith, her commander, keeps 
q strict eye on everyone and everything

aboard, and he is ably assisted by a 
brilliant staff of whom Chief Steward 
Sleigh, Purser Moore and Head Stew- 
ard Dory of the second cabin deserve 
especial mention. 

The Franconia carried, all told, 
1480 passengers, 1S0 first, 500 second 
and 800 third. All of them had little 
else to do but lounge about, eat, drink 
and make merry, and it was funny to 
look around after the dinner gong was 
sounded to see them scamper towards 
the dining room, like a lot of chickens 
"flocking" when the farmer's wife 
comes around with the corn. I have not 
figured out just what stuff we got away 
with, suffice it to say that 98 per cent, 
of the souls aboard all had appetites 



leaning over the side. Approaching one 
such the Doctor said "Sick my man?" — 
Answer: "Oh no! — Just watching that 
the fishes don't bite the boat." 

Many of our passengers were 
aboard the Ivernia when she struck 
Daunts rock, but all speak commendably 
of the prompt care and assistance given 
them. There wasn't the semblance of a 
panic, which speaks volumes for the dis- 
cipline maintained on the ship of the 
Cunard line. 

Sunday Services were well attended 
and a good priest from County Armagh 
saw to the spiritual welfare of the pas- 
sengers of Catholic faith. 

We are now nearing Boston light 
after a most pleasing concert given last 




equal to the weather conditions, which 
were fine and large. 

Among the noted passengers 
were the famous Mosher Brothers trick 
bicyclists, who played last year at the 
Colonial, Mr. William Lapworth, a 
prosperous manufacturer of Hopedale, 
who was completing his thirteenth 
round trip to old Albion, and the world 
renowned Miramba Band. 

Friday the ship pitched slightly; 
Result some sea sickness with many 



night at which the writer was chairman. 
Approaching- our destination one's 
thoughts are centered upon a resump- 
tion of business. 

Walter E. Rushforth. 

The Franconia docked at the Cun- 
ard Wharf in East Boston Wednesday 
at 10 o'clock after one of the most de- 
lightful trips across the broad Atlantic, 
save the last day (Tuesday) which was 
foggy.

O the subscribers and readers of this little book — 

a feeble attempt to illustrate and describe the 

great Coronation scene and ceremonies at 

London, England, in June last, the Author 

II II tenders his sincere thanks. To the patrons 

and business men who have helped make this 

publication possible is due much credit, and I would 

respectfully recommend my readers to look over the 

announcements of our progressive advertisers. 

In this, as in my other publications, I have endea- 
vored not to exaggerate, but to present facts in plain, 
unvarnished language. The work from cover to cover 
has been printed at the Critic office, Saunders Block, 
and I feel satisfied, upon a perusal of this book, the reader 
will admit the Critic plant is splendidly equipped. 

Before closing, it is only just to express admiration 
for the courtesies extended by Manager Stewart of the 
Cunard Steamship Company of Boston, likewise their 
agents at Liverpool, who saw to it that the Critic Editor 
and his party were accorded all the comforts which make 
an ocean voyage as pleasant as possible under adverse or 
pleasant weather conditions. 

Sincerely Yours,

Haverhill, Nashua and Portsmouth, and 20 miles from Manchester. Two enormous steel grand- 
stands, unequalled anywhere in New England, have a seating capacity of 1 5,000 people. Two 
beautiful and modern clubhouses. 25 large stables with all the accessories. 

No aerodrome in the country can begin to compare in its facilities or accessibility or conveni- 
ence with Rockingham Park. 

EARNINGS OF THE PROPERTY 

To recapitulate, we have in one piece of property the equipment necessary for model institutions as follows : A 
Country Club : a New England Horse Show and Fair ; an International Aviation Meet; a Horse Racing Meet; 
an Automobile Racing Meet; Baseball and Football Games, and other Athletic and Winter Sports. 

(When the Olympic Games are awarded to New England it will be found that no 
other park so convenient for the contestants and spectators is to be found. There is 
seating room for 200,000 persons, each to have a clear view of the finish line of the 
race tracks.) 

We do not wish to be extravagant in our ideas as to the earnings of this property, but when we consider what the 
Rochester Fair has paid in the way of dividends, that property starting with a capital of $70 ; what the Brockton 
Fair has done for its stockholders, and what other smaller fairs have earned, we believe that our enormous property 
with its many interests, can assuredly return a very handsome dividend to the stockholders. 

The Park was opened for the first time under the present management Columbus Day, October 
12. 1 9 1 1 , for an aviation meet. Owing to the uncertainty of getting aviators no announcements 
were made until Saturday, October 7, and with only four days notice over 30,000 people attended, 
coming frcm Boston and surrounding cities. 

Detailed information regarding the Neiv England Aviation Company, photographs of 
the chief points of interest and permits to visit the great park may be obtained from

Salisbury Beach is thirty miles from Boston, on the Boston and Maine 
Railroad. Within easy reach of the Beach is a population of 500,000 people. It is 
reached by trolley from Newburyport, Haverhill, Lawrence and Lowell, Massachusetts,
